Cloud Analysis

The public category held the larger market share, of 55%, in 2024, because the public cloud has the property of scalability, and it is infinitely scalable according to the needs of individual enterprises, telecom operators, and government organizations. For this, companies need to pay for the server capacity, which is needed currently, and if the future needs for services increase or decrease, application hosting costs will rise or fall accordingly.

Whereas, requests for server infrastructure are needed in advance for an on-premises deployment of OSS solutions. Using the public cloud, the resources can be made instantly available for smooth operations. This also makes faster deployments of new IT solutions, which enables new services to be applied more quickly. For operators, the public cloud is also cheaper than hosting OSS solutions in their private systems.

Moreover, factors such as flexibility, high speed, and low cost have strengthened the demand for the public cloud. Also, the huge CAPEX involved in setting up infrastructure increases the usage of the public cloud, which makes operators look for a lower total cost of ownership.

The clouds analyzed here are:

• Public (Largest Category)
• Private (Fastest-Growing Category)
• Hybrid

Vertical Analysis

The IT and telecom category will grow at the highest CAGR, of 13%, during the forecast period. Telecom service providers can monetize their businesses with the help of cloud OSS BSS solutions.
